The Zoo!

We spent one of our days at the zoo during our Mid Winter Break! It has been such a beautiful February and this day was no exception! The animals were enjoying the weather as well- just about all of them were out! I was bummed to not have taken a picture of the tiger because he had been moved temporarily from his usual spot and he was right out in front pacing around in his new "area" where we could all see him. He was not a happy camper but we sure did enjoy looking at him! We brought along our neighbor friend Ellie and the Koval's met us at the zoo as well so we had a fun time visiting with our friends. We have really enjoyed having our year membership to both the zoo and Northwest Trek- we are trying to decide if we should renew the membership? It is so nice to jump in the car and do this kind of thing. We shall see. We hope everyone is well!

We spent a lot of our time in the shark aquarium this visit. When we first arrived there were 6 sharks all asleep on the bottom of the water. Slowly they each began to wake up and the kids really enjoyed watching them swim right in front of them. Here you see Taylor and Ellie enjoying this shark swim by them.

It was such a gorgeous day outside! Look at Taylor- no coat and to me, all of a sudden, she looks so grown up! Our almost first grader!

Maddie spent a lot of time walking with her friends around the park but as we began the trek up hill she conveniently found her daddy's shoulders to ride on :)
